wireless.tvguide.com on SE T637 via Cingular?

I have been trying to view the TV Guide Listings at
wireless.tvguide.com on my Sony Ericsson T637. The best I can get is a
listing that shows something like this:

TV Guide logo
<previous 10> (this is a link)
<next 10> (another link)
<Main> (another link to the Main Menu)

Apparently the T637 is dumping the contents of the table that contains
the info I want. I looked at the page from my web browser and I see
several possible problems:

There is Javascript on the page, but it seems to be oriented to the
link buttons and not the data displayed.

The data is in a table, and I have had trouble with the T637 not
recognizing tables.

The full page can be 100-150 lines, which may overload the available
RAM in the T637.

Does anyone know why this link won't work on my T637 or if I can get a
fix for it?

FYI, you have to designate your zip code and TV service provider to
get a display. I used 75225 and "Direct TV" for my options. Most of
the "Offair Broadcast" and "Dish Network" providers won't populate the
table at all.

Thanks,
Jay Shilstone

Unfortunately, WAP is a mess, so it's not as simple as you think -- there are
three different players at work (the originating website, the WAP gateway, and
the WAP client in your phone), and they all have to play well together for WAP
to work. For example, this might simply be a WAP gateway problem.

To investigate this further, try accessing the site with a WAP emulator (e.g.,
e.g., Klondike WAP Browser for Windows <http://www.apachesoftware.com/>), not
an HTTP web browser.
